Peter:
Hola. Trying to give a listen to the Isis tune "Backlit" from today's playlist with the VLC media player gives the following error (which seems to indicate a bad http: formatting string? not sure):

I'm not sure why that's happening for you. I am able to get the song to play using VLC, and in fact it shows up using a non-broken URL, unlike the one you've quoted in that error message.

Are you able to use VLC to play other songs, or other shows?

Perhaps we should talk about this via email, not Mike's playlist!

Have to admidt this Isis group has a great sound ..starts out kind of mellow and rythmic and bleeds into some great lyrics..Then a change up in sound near the end..This stuff is good !

greetings, Mike!

great to hear DALEK, woo hoo!

and thanks again for the info on where-to-find the Getatchew Mekuria/The Ex album . . .

by the way, are you familiar with the all-female ISIS from the early 1970s? (i have their LP, on the cover of which they are nude but covered with SILVER)

i loved reading your blog about trying to find a place to live in NYC . . . i counted it once (maybe too afraid to do it again!) but i moved something like TWELVE times in FOUR years . . . probably explains *why* i have been in the same Hoboken apartment since . . . yikes, 1982! (ooooo, feelin' OLD!)

okay gran-ma has to hit the proverbial hay,

-- kathy z.

p. s. -- hey! i think i was AT that Delta 5 show!!!!!!!! (oooooo feelin' even OLDER) (now where did i put that GERITOL?!?)

I don't want you all left hanging in suspense...Peter and I are communicating by email, and I'm on the case! Keep watching Mike's playlist to see how it turns out!

OK, you can all stop reloading Mike's Feb. 12 playlist every day, eager to see how this drama resolved!

The problem that VLC and Foobar2000 were occasionally experiencing with MP3 timestamp links has been resolved.

Thanks again to Peter for the report, and to Mike for hosting this tech forum on his playlist page.
